The moment Maximus got the system's message, he could not calm down and immediately put a call across to Esther.“Mister Gold Sir?” the sweet lullaby voice came from the receiver.“Esther, I heard rumors that the young heiress of the the Von Blake family has been abducted. Is it true!?” Maximus asked a bit anxious. With the high stakes the system is going to give him once the mission has been completed, he knew it was not going to be so easy.“Yes Mister Gold. That's exactly what happened. Word on the street is that some terrorists got her on her way from her family's company. They're asking for some Empire's documents as ransom. Unfortunately rather than giving in to their demands, lord Lucius has issued out a mission to the military. Why so interested Sir?” Esther responded.“Who's in charge of the search and rescue mission?” Maximus needed to know who he was going to be working with if he needed to participate in the mission.“Miss Diamond Johnson of the Diamond family, Sir.” Esthe
Maximus found himself in a throne room. It's walls were made the purest gold. Six golden thrones were placed on a podium and seated on these thrones were; a man with golden hair and golden skin with batlike wings on his back, man with rippling muscles and black hair, a man with a scowl on his face and red blood hair, a golden cat who was playing with a golden coin, a man with a helmet that has two horns and he had a mischievous smile on his face, and lastly a man dressed in regal clothes with a sword at his waist.“Welcome back young one.” the golden man with the batlike wings on his back said as soon as Maximus realized where he was.“Huh!? Why I'm I here again?” Maximus asked bewildered.“Its because you died, you twerp!” shouted the man with a scowl on his face.“Now, now, Ire, no need to blow your fuse. We all know the requirement for him to gain the skill of Z is for him to be mortally wounded and then die. Only when he dies will he be able to truly shed off his mortality.” King
The sky became so dark and cloudy while golden lightning flashed across the sky. Thunder rumbled and the sound was deafening.The terrorists were scared out of their wits, they ran around like headless chickens. It's normal to see white lightning during a thunderstorm, but golden lightning? An anomaly.“The military sent a Saint-rank powerhouse!”“Find him and eliminate him quickly before he blasts us all to smithereens!”“I can't see anything! the wind is too strong!”“Find Him!”They all kept on screaming at each other while trying their best to fend off the powerful whirlwind Maximus had conjured. Just as they were about to surrender to Fate, one of them spotted someone dressed in rags, standing in the heart of the whirlwind while golden lightning raged across his body.“There! I see him!” someone screamed.Sigh!“It seems I have been found out! Yet I was never trying to hide in the first place.” Maximus' voice sounded all over the battlefield. Just as his voice faded, the whirlwi
[ALTERNATE EARTH]“Negative. The boy doesn't have any powers.”Sigh!Several sighs filled the room as the people with serious expression plastered on their faces shook their heads in disappointment.“He is already fifteen years old now, and if he still has not developed any atom of affinity with any element, then I am sure we all know there's no chance it will ever happen as he has passed the age of awakening. I honestly had great expectations from this subject.” one of them said.Sigh!“Such a shame! The kid whose father was the strongest warlock and mother— the strongest sorcerer, happened to be useless? He's not even a variant, let alone being as great as his parents?” A middle aged man in the group spoke we he looked at the boy lying on the patient table.There was an expression on the man's face that depicted nothing but disappointment.“It looks like we wasted our time with him for nothing. How pathetic!”Three scientists were talking amongst themselves outside the glass room, w
Although Doctor Roach didn't act close to Shawn in the last five years, he didn't openly despise him either as there was a possibility of Shawn developing his powers. His actions towards Shawn seemed only professional till now. He was neither too friendly nor too harsh but only kept an average attitude towards the child. But now Shawn was already fifteen years old and a failure, there was no reason for him to act cordial anymore.Shawn's face paled as he heard the answer from Doctor Roach. It felt like his world came crashing down, and every word of that sentence hit his heart like a bullet.Tears lurked, making his eyes glittery, his vision blurred as he tried to fight back the heartbreak and emotional pain he was feeling. He gritted his teeth and refused to cry out his pain.“But you can still help humanity. So you're not completely useless. Come with us.” Doctor Roach further said in a villainous tone as his eyes shone like a vulture under thick gold-framed glasses.Shawn stood up
Maximus had just stepped into his spacious room when he received his phone screen lit up. He glanced at it and saw it was a message from Esther.'Mister Gold. Where have you been, the Emperor seeks an audience with you.'His eyes were round as saucers when he read the message. He had been unconscious for two days and two nights straight due to the evolution of the system, and it seems his feat at the terrorist camp had earned him an audience with the Emperor.. perhaps a reward awaits? Of course, there has to be a reward. Maximus smiled and immediately rushed to the shower. He didn't bother taking breakfast, rather he was worried about the excuse to give for his sudden disappearance. He could not think of anything, so he called Esther.“Hello darling Esther. How are you doing today?” Maximus said with a low romantic voice as soon she picked the call.“Hello Mister Gold, why are you being so lovey dovey this morning?” she replied with a giggle. Maximus could very well imagine she was ce
[ALTERNATE EARTH]Shawn continued walking for over seven hours before he saw the nearest town. His stomach had started growling long ago; now that a town was here, it growled more. It was as if it was telling Shawn to eat.He entered the town. There was still the lab's patient robe on his body which looked even dirtier as if he was a beggar. He tried to look for a place to get something to eat.Seeing a small restaurant after searching for a long time, he decided to enter the place.As soon as he stepped inside the restaurant, he attracted the attention of the waiter.“What do you need, boy? This is not a place for kids to enter. If you don't have money, then scram out of here!” the waiter of the small restaurant told Shawn as he walked towards him.Due to malnutrition and lack of sleep, Shawn looked so scrawny and a bit small, unlike kids his age.“I need food.” Shawn said to the waiter, but the guy refused even to listen.“Can a beggar like you even have money? Scram out before I cu
The ash fell on the ground and covered the floor. If the people here hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that the ash lying in Shawn's feet happened to be a young living man until a minute ago.«Havoc point 1 obtained»Ignoring the people, Shawn gazed at his hand as he muttered“Strenghtening?”He could feel that his body had more strength than he had before he died. Not only was he able to toss the waiter like he was a toy, but what happened after that also proved the same thing. He had realized that his strength was much higher than the man since he couldn't even feel any resistance from the man.He hasn't test it before, but now he realized something. This power of strength, wasn't it something his father had before? If so, why wasn't it recorded in his Stats.“Azazel!
